After the magical world believes Rita Skeeter's tall tales Hermione decides it isn't worth it anymore, with Harry gone and Ron having chosen Lavendar she kept to herself. A chance meeting with a small boy in Diagon Alley changes everything when she learns that he is Draco Malfoy's cousin and that her presence was missed by Narcissa so Hermione decided to visit, but it turns into something she never expected it to be. She asked him why but his answer turns her world upside down and suddenly “live a little” sounds better than it did when Harry suggested it before he left.
